This invention relates to ties, and more particularly to wide ties of the four-inhand type, constructed to prevent curling or twisting of the lining while the tie is being laundered, as well as to prevent twisting or wrinkling of the tie while in use.

The invention also contemplates a new and improved method of making a tie which embodies the above desired features.

The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understood when the following detail description is read in connection with the accompanying drawings, the invention residing in the construction combination and arrangement of parts as claimed.

In the drawings forming part of this application like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, and

wherein Figure 1 is a plan view of the material from which the body of the tie is formed.

Figure 2 is a view showing the initial step in the method of making the tie, wherein the body is folded longitudinally and stitched.

Figure 3 is a similar View showing the ends of the tie folded preparatory to form ing the pockets for the lining.

Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view of one end of the body portion of the tie, the end being partly folded in the formation of the pocket.

Figure 5 is a sectional View on line 55 of Figure 3.

Figure 6 is a view of the body of the tie preparatory to receiving the lining, the tie being wrong side out.

Figure 7 is a plan view of the lining.

Figure 8 is a view similar to Figure 6 showing the lining placed upon the tie before the latter is turned right side out, the ends of the lining being stitchedwithin the 5 pockets.

Figure 9 is a view of the completed tie showing how the lining and tie are stitched to reinforce the same.

Figure 10 is a fragmentary inner face view of one end of the completed tie.

Figure 11 is a sectional View on line l1ll of Figure 9.

The tie forming the subject matter of the present invention comprises a body portion, and a lining, and each of these parts are preferably made in two sections which are arranged in end to end relationand stitched or otherwise suitably secured together.

As shown in Figure 1, the body of the tie is formed in two sections 10 and 11 respectively. These sections are arranged in end to end relation and adapted to be'stitched or otherwise suitably secured together as at 12. The adjacent ends of the sections 10 and 11 are preferably cut on a bias as illustrated in the drawings. The outer ends of the body portion are V-shaped to provide extensions 13. The tie is then folded wrong side out and longitudinally along the fold line 14, with the edges of the ii-shaped ends registering and these edges are then stitched as indicated at 16. The free longitudinal edges of the tie are stitched together as indicated at 15, from 15a to 15, as shown in Figure 2, the remaining portions from 15a to the extremities of the tie remaining open. The ends of the tie are then folded back along the dotted lines 15?) and the tie is pressed flat as shown in Figure 6, with the fold line 1% extending centrally between the side edges 141a ofthe tie. In Figure 4 the extensions are shown folded back and the tie partly folded prior to being pressed flat, the open edge of the pocket being indicated at 130;. A pocket is thus formed by the rear- Wardly folded ends at each end of the tie, and the open edges of these pockets are opposed.

The lining is made in two sections 17 and 18, and the adjacent ends of these sections "so are cut on a bias andsecured together as indicated at 19.

The lining 17 is then placed upon the flatly pressed tie with the pointed ends inserted in the pockets and the outer edges of the t5 pockets are stitched as shown at 20 in Figure 8, the stitching extending through the ends of the lining. In this figure the tie is still wrong side out and the lining lies fiat along the flatly pressed body of the tie.

The tie is now turned right side out. This places the pockets and the lining upon the inside of the tie and the latter is pressed flat with the fold line 14: centrally and longitudinally positioned. The tie is then stitched longitudinally as indicated at 21, this stitching extending through the lining so that the latter is securely anchored at this point and at each end of the tie.

While it is believed that from the foregoing description the nature and advantages of the invention will be readily understood,

I desire to have it known that I do not limit myself to What is herein shown and described and that such changes may be resorted to When desired as fall Within the scope of What is claimed.

\Vhat I claim is The method of making neekties consisting in the use of two pieces of material having corner extensions at one end, connecting the other ends of the pieces so that the extensions Will be at opposite ends of the tie, folding the material upon its Wrong side, centrally, and longitudinally, stitching the adjacent edges of the extremities together, stitching the longitudinal edges of tie material together and leaving an unstitched portion adjacent the corner extensions at each end of the tie and providing a tube-like body, folding the stitched extensions over the end of the body to provide an inwardly opening pocket, the open edge of which is defined by the unstitched portion of the longitudinal edges of the material, positioning a lining upon the body with the ends or" the lining Within the pockets, stitching along the outer edges of the pockets through the lining and then rever ing and pressing the tie.

Tn testimony whereof I alllx my signature.
